Try this connection string.

Code: Select all

"data source=sqlec; initial catalog=Northwind; integrated security=SSPI; persist security info=False; Trusted_Connection=Yes"

Okay, I can load the data now and the grid view is showing up.

But there is no highlighting of rows. I changed the query as per my database namely "select * from transaction_tbl"

and I have a msg_status field having 0 or 1, I've tried using both the code people shared at csharpcorner for converting the rows to bold.

It isn't helping though.

Please let me know what can I do....

Post a screenshot of the grid with loaded data along with the code that you have under the "Go" button.

Code: Select all

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {


            for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; rowIndex++)
            {
                if (dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells["msg_status"].Value != null)
                {
                    if ((bool) dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells["msg_status"].Value)
                    {
                        //read mail
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //Unread Mail
                        dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font(Font.FontFamily, Font.Size,
                                                                                      FontStyle.Bold);
                    }
                }
            }


            //foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)
            //{

            //    if ((Convert.ToInt32(r.Cells[6].Value) == 1))
            //    {
            //        //Set Row Font to Bold
            //        r.DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
            //    }
            //}

        }

It seems that you have changed the button code to something else. Can you use the one that I have tested with VS.2005 pls.

Code: Select all

            foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)
            {

                if ((Convert.ToInt32(r.Cells[3].Value) == 1)) // change 3 to the index of the selection field
                {
                    //Set Row Font to Bold
                    r.DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
                }
            }

Basically you just have to change the column index (in red colour) of line if ((Convert.ToInt32(r.Cells[3].Value) == 1)) to the field index of the table in grid.
Note that if you do not need the particular field to appear on the grid, you can hide that column from code.

Yes, I first tried doing that. Exactly the same way you mentioned. But it didn't work.

Working at your end?

Note that the index is starting from 0. If the filed is appearing on the 5th column, the index is 4.

Cool, its working now -
The mistake was... I was not pressing the button sorry...

Having some more questions regarding the same. But let's give this thread a bit of rest

[Neofriend]

But yes one important thing, how can we hide that status column from design view and code?

[Neofriend]

Alright, I've found out... its

dataGridView1.Columns[6].Visible = false;

Thank you

Doing more research and practice, you are of great help.
